Systematic theoretical search for alloys with increased thermal stability for advanced hard coatings applications

State-of-the-art alloys for hard coating applications, such as TiAlN, are known to suffer from decreased hardness during heat treatment in excess of 900 °C due to the formation of detrimental wurtzite AlN phases. Recent research has shown that multicomponent alloying with additional transition metal...
